Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I would herewith want to request access to the following documents:

- all correspondence including emails between Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič and members of his cabinet and the companies Suez Environnement, Veolia Environnement and their lobby groups such as Eureau and Aquafed;

- a list of all meetings including minutes of these meetings between Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič and members of his cabinet and the companies Suez Environnement, Veolia Environnement and their lobby groups such as Eureau and Aquafed.

the deadline you provided me with as the last moment for the Secretariat-General to answer my request (registered under nr 2014/1558) is now long past - it was April 10th. Could you please let me know when you will send me the documents I requested? I am happy to answer any additional question that could ease your search.

We refer to your e-mail dated 20/03/2014 in which you make a request for
access to documents related to correspondence, meetings and minutes
between Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič and members of his cabinet and the
companies Suez Environnement, Veolia Environnement and their lobby groups
such as Eureau and Aquafed.

We apologise for the delay in providing you with the information, which is
due to operational priorities during the Easter period. Please rest
assured that your pending request is one of our priorities and will be
answered within the next 15 working days.
